Happy Easter!
Easter is a time of rebirth and new life. In addition to the religious aspects of Easter, most people like the idea of celebrating spring as a time of growth, fresh opportunity, and an end of winter. (Chocolate bunnies and those malted-speckled eggs are great too.)
It is easy to fall into the routines of our daily lives. We are comfortable with our routines. There is a regular rhythm in our habits. But when does a routine turn into a rut?
As we look forward to the progress of the new season, it might be fun to try new things as a way of growing in this season. Try to do something new, if not every day, maybe make a point to try something new once a week. New experiences help us breakout of our groove (Yes, I used the word groove) and are just plain fun.
Some ideas:
1) Try completely different food – a Moroccan restaurant, Thai Panang, or Korean BBQ
2) Take a class that interests you
3) Walk someone else’s dog
4) Participate in different exercise class, such as a Nia or Zumba class
5) Sign up to support a new fundraiser
6) Watch an episode of the History channel on a completely foreign topic
7) Plant some herbs
8) Help your cells regenerate – for a whole day, eat just fruits and vegetables
9) Further help your cellular development by getting a great night’s sleep
10) Clean out a closet and donate what you don’t use
11) Wash the car! Or surprise someone else by cleaning their car
12) Try a local brewery’s beer
13) Try a different wine
14) Drive a new road
15) Put a different assortment of toppings on your next pizza
16) Babysit someone else’s kids
17) Open a cookbook at random and try whatever page you see
18) Listen to your kids’ music
